It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera... they are made with the eye, heart and head.
One eye of the photographer looks wide open through the viewfinder, the other, the closed looks into his own soul.
Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.
There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment.
You just have to live and life will give you pictures.
Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience.
Sharpness is a bourgeois concept
In a portrait, I’m looking for the silence in somebody.
Nobody takes photographs, photographs take you.
Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera.
Photography is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It's a way of life.
I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant.
Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes a precise moment in time.
Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.
For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.
To take photographs is putting one's head, one's eye, and one's heart on the same axis
In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv.
Photography is nothing-it's life that interests me.
Life is once. Forever.
To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.
Human faces are such a world!
I'm not responsible for my photographs. Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience. It's drowning yourself, dissolving yourself, and then sniff, sniff, sniff - being sensitive to coincidence. You can't go looking for it; you can't want it, or you won't get it. First you must lose your self. Then it happens.
Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing.
To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis.
It is through living that we discover ourselves, at the same time as we discover the world around us.
